== Diplomacy ==
To convince someone of something, defame an opponent in front of an audience, or some similar extended action can be dealt with using social combat.
* Use your Diplomacy, Bluff, or other appropriate skill instead of an attack roll
* Use your Diplomacy + 10, Sense Motive + 10, or other appropriate skill instead of AC
* Use your hit dice times a modifier for your HP. Modifiers depend on your social standing within the current situation. For example:
** In court, commoners get HD*4, merchants get HD*6, knights and nobles get HD*8, princes and kings get HD*10.
** In back alleys, civilians get HD*4, cops and thugs get HD*6, lieutenants and specialists get HD*8, captains and bosses get HD*10
* Some targets may have DR or resistances depending on the situation
** Kings often get bonuses from other members of the court
** Convincing someone of something they already somewhat want or defaming someone that is already disliked may reduce the target's HP/DR/etc.
** Convincing someone of something they would never agree to or defaming a widely loved figure may increase the target's HP/DR/etc.
